I know a lot has been posted about the benefits of SFS for both C and D. But do some of you honestly believe that they may cause more problems than the benefits they may or may not provide.
I take citrucel for C and find limited relief, but lots of gas and bloating. I have tried FiberChoice, benefiber, fibercon, equalactin, citrucel caplets,... All have either caused cramps or didn't do anything.
I went onto Remedy.com for IBS and the fiber supplements didn't score very high from the IBS folks as being helpful for IBS and many reported that they were more hurtful. I have also read articles reporting that SFS only effective for about 50% of people with IBS.
Any comments? What is an IBS-C person to do? I eat insolubles, I've tried Zelnorm. I don't know what else is left. 
Thanks, I know everyone is probably tired of the SFS question, but confusion remains!
